10 high school districts that spent
less per child thanSt,Johns,"the,
board's statement s a y s . -"The
lowest one spent $425,82 per
child. The highest spent $998.74,
over twice as much as St. Johns.
"The board of education and administration feel that the students
in St.* Johns are getting a good
program at a very low cost per

ranking below St. Johns had total
enrollments of less than 600.
Only one was larger."
-The figures on the rankings

City plans talk
on financial
woes, solutions
A special discussion on the city's financial situation, including talk on a city income tax and other possible solutions, has been
scheduled for the agenda for next Monday night's St, Johns City
Commission meeting.
Anticipating a large crowd, the commission has scheduled the
meeting for the municipal auditorium, on the upper floor of the
city building, at 7:30 next Monday. The auditorium will hold a
larger crowd than the regular commission chambers.
Commissioners met informally Monday night, March 17, and
decided on the formal discussion for next week. Mayor Robert
Wood said the commission sees only two alternatives to-£he problem right now — a city income tax for immediate help and a
charter revision for long-range relief from austerity.
No vote on the charter amendment is possible, however, until
April 1970, and any tax change would not be effective until 1971.
He said the commission has been kicking around the possibility
of an advisory vote on a city income tax — probably some time In
May — and is seeking a reaction and help from the public.
"We want a thorough discussion of this problem, what it will
take to do the job right and possible solutions," Commissioner
Herb Oatley said.
A resolution concerning an advisory vote on an income tax will
be prepared and available at the meeting. On an advisory vote,
citizens would merely indicate whether'or not they want the
commission to enact an income tax.
Grass fire
threat
continues
First real spring-time temperatures Monday, iriade all the
more lovely by continuing bright
sunshine and balmy breezes, has
only served to heighten a serious
threat of grass fires in the Clinton County area.
Firemen are well aware of
the problem already.
Departments all over the county have received numerous calls
and the St. Johns Fire Department was out 14 times between
March 11 and March 17, including 11 tim.es for grass fires.
Saturday was their busiest day.
They were out five times for
grass fires, including one big
500-acre blaze in the new Sleepy
Hollow State Park area when
they assisted three other departments.
There were three fire alarms
Monday and last Thursday and
one each on March 11, 12 and 16.
Many of ,the grass fires were
.caused by burning trash falling
or flying out of barrels and
igniting the dry grass.
Gordon Vandemark, Gene Downing
honored for education, civic work
Two more active young men in
the St..Johns community have
been singled out for honors by
the St. Johns Jaycees, with Gordon Vandemark being named the
"outstanding young educator" and

winner to
be named
Federal-Mogul Corp. will announce soon the recipient of its
first annual $500 scholarship to
Central Michigan University.
The scholarship will be used to

/I nf Simp^am.u.a^skiHs, spch as
those taught In the time-honored
manual arts courses, are no
longer sufficient for modern industry," St. Johns Plant Manager
Ed Idzkowski was quoted last
November in a n n o u n c i n g the
scholarship.
"We need young people with
technological training, good
communication skills, facility
for human relationships and motivations and a sound understanding of industry's function in the
competitive economic structure
of our society.
"All of this can be taught at
the high school level, and we
would like to be of assistance
to the St. Johns School Board
in developing an industrial arts
curriculum at the new high school
that would meet the needs of
local industry and. thereby benefit the graduates who will make
their c a r e e r s in this field,"
Idzkowski said.
Clinton County had 327 students enrolled at Michigan State
University's East Lansing campus fall term 1968, They were
part of the total of 39,949 students, 80 per cent of which were
from the state of Michigan.

SCHOOL TO STAND AWHILE LONGER
The 66-year-old north portion of the old Elsie High School has been
saved from a demolition ball by the Ovid-Elsie Board of Education, which
decided last week to make some minor repairs and continue to use If for
storage. Only roof repairs and some window replacement will be necessary
to keep It useful for storage, a function it has filled since the new O v i d Elsie High School was put to use. Junior high students at Elsie use the
newer portion of the school partially visible at the extreme left.

GRAND BLANC - New Haven's
lithe and speedy basketballers
stunned DeWitt with an early
scoring binge In the regional
tournament opener last Tuesday
night and went on to win 87-70.
DeWitt trailed 5-0 before they
finally scored after about two
minutes, and then New Haven
blitzed their way to an 11-2 lead
before Coach Frank Deak's Panthers finally settled down.
Roger Berry began hittingfrom
the 20 - foot range with set shots
and DeWitt began to creep back
on New Haven. The deficit was
down to 22-16 at the end of the
first quarter, and then DeWitt
finally tied the game at '23-23
with about six minutes left in the
half. At3:57 the Panthers grabbed
their only lead of the game, 2928,
New Haven took control again
and quickly moved out to a ninepoint lead before Berry's late
baskets cut the halftime margin
to seven points, 44-37.
DeWitt's shooting went cold in

One of the reasonsn why Tom Barker, Pewamo-Westphalia's senior basketball guard, led the Central Michigan
Athletic Conference in scoring was his ability to draw
fouls and his ability to make the resultant free throws.
Barker scored 123 points on free throws during the
regular season, making that many shots out of 155 attempts
to win the third annual Clinton County News Free Throw.
Award. He was the third individual winner from three
different Clinton County schools.
Barker's free throw shooting percentage of 79.35 per
cent was lower than the marks of the previous two winners,
but he both shot and made a record number of free throws.
Last year's winner, Jerry Weir of Ovid-Elsie, had an 82.00
percentage but with only 41 of 50 free throws; Joe Koenigsknecht of Fowler , who won the award in 1966-67, made
83.60 per cent on 51 of 61 attempts—less than half the
numbers Barker shot,
A handsome plaque bearing Barker's name and free
throw shooting record will be presented to him and PewamoWestphalia High School as soon as engraving is completed.
He will also receive a small trophy for a keepsake. The"
plaque is a traveling award that will be hung at P-W High
until next year's winner is chosen.
BARKER FINISHED THE YEAR some three percentage
points ahead of second-place Roger Berry of DeWitt High
School. Roger made 33 of his 43 free throw attempts—
76.74 per cent. Another three percentage points off in
third place was Terry Maier of St. Johns, with 45 of 61
free throws (73.76 per cent).

THE P-W SENIOR'S FREE THROW percentage topped
some 28 players from nine Clinton area schools who
scored on 50 percent or more of 40 or more free throws
during the regular season. Twenty-seven players made the
list last year. This season, St. Johns and Laingsburg led
the way with five players each while Fowler and OvidElsie had four men each, P-W three, Bath, Ashley and
Fulton two each and DeWitt one.
The overall shooting improved this year, compared to
last, although it looked pretty dismal at mid-season. Although there were no 80 per cent shooters for the first
time, there were seven who shot over 70 per cent (only
three last year) and 19 who shot 60 per cent or better
(18 last year).
There were five players who shot more than 100 free
throws and two others with 99 attempts each.
Barker's free throws set two sorts of records. His
155 attempts was 24 more than Glen Schafer of PewamoWestphalia shot two years ago, and his 123 successful
free throws were half again as many as Schafer's 87

Pewamo-Westphalia Coach Bill Marks describes Barker
as a "natural shooter," and Tom admits to liking to shoot
free throws. His drives for the basket drew numerous
fouls during the year, and his interest in free throw
shooting paid off. He said he practices free throw shooting
a lot but not as much as he used to during his junior high
years.
-• Those readers who watched him play during the year
may recall a sort of ritual Barker goes through in shooting
free throws. He was reluctant to say that that made the
difference, but he always bounces the ball three times before
shooting his first free throw of a set and two times before
the second free throw.
He is the first senior to win the award. Koenigsknecht
and Weir were both juniors when they won. Two years ago
Barker finished 11th in the running witha66.66 percentage,
and 'last year he was 12th with a percentage of 63.75.

Rangy Holt slams door on O-E streak
The Ovid - Elsie Marauders,
strong as they were off a 10game winning streak, couldn't
quite hoe the row with the rangy
Holt Rams last Wednesday night,
dropping an 81 - 59 decision in
their opening round game of the
W a v e r l y regional basketball
tournament.
Holt's big 6-7 center Chuck
Henderson provided the bulk to
stop the s u r g i n g Marauders.
Henderson s c o r e d 34 points
against Ovid-Elsie, including 23
during the first half when the
Rams were building a 42-27
lead.
The h e i g h t advantage was
clearly Holt's in the game, but
the Marauders' poor shooting
from both the field and the free
throw line during the first half
didn't help their cause. They

Ovid-Elsie's Jerry Weir (45) appears to be
contemplating his chances for a basket after he

process. Holt players identifiable are Charles
Henderson (44) and John Gary (52). O v l d Elsie lost 81-59 in the regional tourament game.
Journal state editor
speaks to Exchange Club
Frank Hand, state editor of the
Lansing State Journal, recalled
interesting experiences in his
career when he spoke lastThursday noon at the bi-weekly meeting
of the St. Johns Exchange Club.
Among the experiences he r e called was that of a spectator at a
Lansing fire who insisted he had
information on how it started.
After telling the "pest" he'd interview him later, Hand and other
reporters continued their coverage only to find several days later
the "pest" they didn't contact
later was arrested for setting the
fire.
Among s t a t i s t i c s Hand r e vealed was that over 200 miles of
newsprint are used daily and the
State Journal was the first metropolitan newspaper in the nation to

Foreback's team finished the
year with a 13-7 overall record.
They wound up in a three-way

cafeteria manager
Mrs Jay (Margaret) McKay of
607 E. Baldwin Street has been
employed as the cafeteria manager when the new St Johns High
School opens next fall.
Mrs McKay has just completed
a 10-week course in Institutional
food management at Michigan
State University. She will begin
her duties shortly onapart-time
basis by visiting other schools,
planning menus and making other
arrangements.
Food for both the junior high
school and senior high will be
prepared in the kitchen at the
high school. Food for the junior
high students will be transported
to the junior high and served
there. Trays and knives and forks
will be disposable so that facilities there will be only for serving
and eating.
At the high school, where there
are adequate storage and dishwashing facilities, regular cafeteria food service utensils will be
used. Menus will be identical at
both schools.
Students at both schools may
bring lunches from home. Milk
will be available to everyone. To
accommodate all students, there
will be three 30-minute staggered
lunch periods.
Both the junior and senior high
schools will operate on a closed

Impressive
service held
by WSCS
"THE KINGDOM COME-but
not now," (an Inspirational message) was presented by several
ladies of the United Methodist
WSCS in the home of Mrs C. S.
Goodrich for the March general
meeting March 5.
A lighted Cross on the fireplace mantel with a table upon
which material things such as
jewelry, decanters, and money,
were placed In the dimly lighted
room formed the setting for this
thought-provoking d r a m a that
pointed up the faults of many
people.
It was brought out that only by
f r e e i n g ourselves from the
prejudices of caste, color or
creed may we make life yield
its richest gifts—fellowship and
peace.
Mrs Gordon Showers provided
the vocal selections with Mrs
C. S. Goodrich at the organ. Mrs
L. W. Burdick and Mrs S. J.
Keys r e p r e s e n t e d the two
readers, while they were assisted
by Mrs Robert Bloomer, Mrs
Howard Peltier , Mrs Charles
Kridner, Mrs A. W. Cobb, Mrs
Howard Whitaker and Mrs Lyle

court did not close 95 per cent of
Michigan's s a l m o n a n d trout
streams to public fishing.
"Martiny decided no new public
right, and no new private right
in any stream," said Black, who
authored the opinion that triggered the furor. ,.i t. t ,
-'Concern sfemme'd *;from "the
court's definition of a navigable
steam open to public fishing in a
case involving state efforts to
manage the water level of a lake

in Mecosta County.
MacMullan had said the ruling
threw out the old criteria that a
navigable stream was any body
of water that could float logs. He
called for and got legislation before the Senate and House to
broaden the definition.
Black said if MacMullan was
right, then "all of the participating justices, except for the dissenter, should be impeached as
an immediate first order oflegislative business . . . such is my
complete confidence in the fact
that you are dead wrong."

Real gentlemen
A letter to the editor this week commends the St. Johns Redwings basketball
team for their fine season, their championship and for their gentlemanly behavior.
We'll buy that.
It has been our pleasure to know many
of the players through activities other
than athletics, and in all cases their
behavior has earned our respect. Their
handling of themselves d u r i n g athletic
events and in front of an audience is only
a small measure of the high caliber of
students and gentlemen they are.
. . . For which we tip our hats, too, to
their parents, teachers and coaches.
The reflections on the St. Johns players
by no means takes anything away from the
athletes at other schools in the county.
During the past football and basketball
seasons we have watched every team play
at least a couple of times and in no case
did we see an instance where the heat of
competition d i s p l a c e d gentlemanly behavior.
lt's been a good year for some teams
and a bad year for others. It's been an
enjoyable year of athletics to watch, with
the gentlemanly attitude of the lads on the
court taking some of the sting out o"f defeat.
Farmers want o
Untold billions of dollars have been
spent over the years in an effort to "help
the farmer." Far from being helped, the
farmer is faced with ever-mounting costs
of operation on the one hand, and a mountain of red tape and restrictions on the
other. Hopefully the end of this bureaucratic nightmare may be in sight.
The largest farm organization in the
nation, representing about 1.8 m i l l i o n
families, has gone on record in favor of
dismantling government farm programs
and replacing them with devices to help
successful f a r m e r s move gradually into a
market-oriented economy free of federal
controls and payments.
Before the waitress arrived

kids had already decided to

"I think I wil have flaming
filet of yak, Peking style," I
said.
"Here he goes again," said
my son.
"Dull men don't get heartburn," I said. "I am a swinger
and I want heartburn."
"You don't even know what a
yak is," my wife said. "How do
you know it will give you heartburn?"
"The yak Is the long haired
wild ox of Tibet. I looked it up
in my Funk and Wagnalls," I
said. "And the Alka Seltzer

yak will give mea sophisticated

"What is a s o p h i s t i c a t e d

Blanket attitude harmfu
10 YEARS AGO
(March 19, 1959)
By RON HUARD
R e p o r t s from across the
nation reveal that Americans
are bowing their necks against
local increased millage levies
and whether proposals are for
schools, public buildings or
road improvements, supporting
o b s e r v e r s ' optimism is
dimmed by the growing trend..
School districts, especially,
have come under a barrage of
vetoes and this in itself seems
to r e p r e s e n t a complete
r e v e r s a l of t r a d i t i o n a l
American ideals. Many districts which have attained recognition for high scholastic
and progressive attitudes find
themselves in a position of
increasing demands but with insufficient means and support to
effectively meet responsibilities.
This sudden reversal, be it
against schools or other public
supported ventures, cannot be
said to represent a true reflection of conservatism because economic figures clearly
s u b s t a n t i a t e the fact that
Americans are spending more
than ever before and much of
this spending is outside the
realm of items which are generally considered to be ne-
cessities. Rather, the trend is
one which mutely suggests that
taxation has reached a saturation point.
This may be so, but it is
sad to T see such reaction by
voters directed at the d i r e
needs of local governments.
For. years voters stood idly by
while vast expense programs
were designed and implemented
for p u r p o s e s of rebuilding
cities, a l t e r i n g courses of
r i v e r s , subsidizing socially
oriented programs and numerous domestic and foreigh projects. There were murmurs, to
be sure, but generally voters
failed to relate with the growing tax supported expenses and
only time could bring about
awareness. The impact is now
well felt and, unfortunately
for many communities, the
"nayes" have come into their
own.
But the objections are too
late and misdirected. Federal
financing has come to be an
accepted practice, but the harvest can be reaped only by
those taking advantage of the
various programs. A vast majority of communities receive
little federal aid yet so much
of the citizens' tax money is
leaving their locality that com- ,
munity projects requiring taxes
are looked upon with scorn and
any proposal hinting of a millage change is probably doomed
before the ink on the ballot is,
dried.
Idealistically, the perfect
solution is to begin a campaign
for more local support and to
encourage a cautious attitude
toward * outside requests, but
even then the elemnt of time
will take its course and direct
effects would beunfeltforsome
time. Realistically, we should
develop an attitude of selectiveness wherein tax expenditures
would be voted on in the same
"mind on money" manner that
f a mil JJ purchases should be
made. -'
'
There is little doubt t h a t
taxes, indeed, have reached
most demanding proportions
but a blanket attitude of opposition can nurture irreparable harm.

RAMBLIN' WITH RINK
It's all over
By LOWELL G. RINKER
Charles B. Shuman, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation, believes "The general public is finally beginning to recognize that a government
— planned, agriculture is a costly exercise
in futility." F a r m e r s have had a longer
experience with government planning and
subsidies than any other group in the
country. The significance of their wish
to be freed of massive government intervention in their affairs should not be lost
on those who have more recently entered
into "partnership" with Uncle Sam.

OPINION
COMMENTS FROM OTHER PAPERS
DOVER-FOXCROFT, Maine, OBSERVER: "This week,
the University of Chicago released the results of a study
of dissidents which have been disrupting normal campus
pursuits in nearly every section of the United States.Many people were surprised to learn that the 'average'
student protester was not the product of grinding poverty,
nor was he a bitter, disillusioned child of social isolation.
According to reports of the study, the young people are
more often the scions of families which are economically
comfortable and raised their children in a generally
permissive environment.. .Even around home, permissiyeness, like freedom, does not mean anarchy."
THEY MADE CHAIRS BACK AT TURN OF CENTURY
F
George Perry of 1420 Clark Road, R-4, Lansing, contributed this picture of himself (at extreme
upper left) and co-workers at the Grand Ledge Chair Co. on Sept. 6, 1906. He said he was 18 years
old when the picture was taken. The plant was formerly located near the bridge in Grand Ledge.
Last Wednesday night when
I came home from the OvidElsie basketball game with
Holt, the good wife cautiously
asked what the score had been.
I told her that Ovid-Elsie had
lost.
She leaped out of her chair,
cheering, and did a little jig
around the room.
Lest you O-E fans get the
wrong idea about my wife, I
should explain that she was not
happy that the Marauders had
lost, it's just that she was elated
the basketball season was finally over. And I felt pretty
much the same way.
For about six months she
has been a Friday nightwodow,
forced to stay home alone with
the daughter while her loving
husband was gallivanting around
the county "working" at football and basketball games. Now
that the night athletics season
is over, I'll be home on Friday nights again.
That's what she was cheering about.
It has been a long year. I'm
glad it's over, too. Even if
I hadn't been "covering" the
games for the paper, I would
have gone to a lot of them just
because I like football and basketball. But it wouldn't have
become a Friday night ritual.
Covering the teams of the
Clinton area has been both
satisfying and exciting and even
sometimes frustrating. Our
high s c h o o l darkroom technician, Ed C h e e n e y , took
pictures at all the St. Johns
games this year and that freed
me to travel around the county
and take in a game or two
every night.
The frustrating part was in
picking the best game to go to.
We were successful in providing photo coverage of each
team in our area atleasttwice,
and sometimes m o r e , during
the basketball year, but our
prime concern every week was
in picking the game which we
thought would be not only the
most exciting but the most important. Many times we were
right.
Many times we were wrong.
On a couple of occasions, we
debated on which of two games
in the county to cover on a
Friday night. The one we chose
turned out to be a lop-sided
contest, while the one we decided against was one of those
fingernailbiters.
There were a couple of occasions when we were able to
get to two different xgames in
one night. This always depends
on the distance between the two
schools and the starting times
of the two games. During the
football season it is easier to
do, and we covered both homecoming games at Bath High
School ahdPewamo-Westphalia
High School the same night.
We had a little help by having
the Bath game start a halfhour earlier than the other. I
was able to get pictures of the
queens at half time at Bath and
still get over to P-W for the
entire s e c o n d half of their
game.
Sometimes these efforts at
hitting two games in one night
don't work out. I was going to
try a game at Bath and another
at Fowler on the same night
during the basketball season.
When I got to Bath everybody
was leaving; that's when they
had the power failure .and had
to postpone the game. I drove
through, DeWltt, hoping to
catch the Panthers at home, but
they Wereplayingaway.Sowhen
I got to Fowler, I had just the
one game as a result of a lot
of driving around.
It's been an interesting year.
I've seen a lot of good games
and a lot of good people by
getting around the county. By
next football season my wife
will have gotten t i r e d of me
hanging around the house every
Friday night and will be willing to give me a pass and I'll
be back on the county football
trail.
Right now, though, the prospects of Friday nights at home
makes me real happy. And once
again I can watch "Wild, Wild
West."

Miss May Rohr handed in her
resignation as superintendent of
nurses at Clinton Memorial Hospital, effective as of March 15.
At the regular monthly meeting
held Monday at the hospital,
Mrs Muriel Gilsoawasappointed
a c t i n g superintendent. She is
widely and favorably known.
This is not a fish story. Moreover, "Officer Reed Hall did not
tell it. A certain state trooper
did for he thought it too good to
keep. A big car came whizzing
up the curve just north of the
railroad b r i d g e . Officer Hall
noted the excessive speed and
followed it through town. Hall
stopped it. "Going pretty fast
weren't you?" Hall suggested.
The driver admitted it. "Drive
back through town or take a
ticket." Hall said.
"What shall I do?" asked the
driver to an older man beside
him.
"Do as the officer says," ordered the boss.
They did. When they had completed the round trip Officer
Hall s t o p p e d them and said
"That's better. Try and drive
that way after this."
The driver then said, "Reed,
I guess you've forgotten me,
I'm Sergeant Oakes of the State
Police and this is Commissioner
Olander with me." Officer Hall
gulped. O l a n d e r commented
"Nice work officer. We had it

Letters to the editor
He defends
protestors
of Viet w a r
Dear Editor:
It seems that one of the favorite statements going around the
community is "We should be
killing off these demonstrators,
not the Vietnamese."
In the many times that I have
heard this statement, I find it has
been said by a person who is
completely ignorant about the
•United States' roll in the Viet
Nam crisis. After the death of
some of Clinton County's own
young men in the undeclared war
in Viet Nam, it seems that the
people would at least open their
eyes and point their convicting
finger at the right source of the
trouble,
I am no expert on the Viet
Nam crisis, but at least I'm not
avoiding the disappointing facts.
We entered into Viet Nam during
the 1950's when the Vietnamese
successfully defeated the French
forces at the battle of Dien Bien
Phu. T-hen the United S t a t e s
moved in. We weren't asked by
the Vietnamese; we did it of our
own accord. Then in 1956, when
the elections in Viet Nam were to
be held, the United States moved
in troops and prevented the people
from voting.
This was done because it was
apparent that Ho Chi Minh would
win the election, and the United
States didn't want him, but the
Vietnamese people did. By stopping these elections, we prevented the people's own choice.
A direct violation of our constitution. To top that off, the
United States was directly involved in the committee that
made plans for the election in the
first place. Aren't treaties supposed to be respected?
In the Preamble to our Constitution, there are the words,
"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness." These are three important statements. Right? Well..
1.) Do you think that it is a
young man's goal in life toendup
In a rice paddy fighting for his
life? (Pursuit of Happiness)
2.) Does a young man have
much freedom when he has no
choice about going into the armed
forces. (Liberty)
3.) Does the government have
the right to sacrifice an average
of 156 Americans each week, and
make many more kill when they
don't believe in i f (life)
From the above paragraphs it
is very plain that the United
States deprives young men of the
very ideological goals to which
this country was set up upon.
And you condemn youth for
demonstrating? We're not afraid
to show you how we feel. If everyone would join together, we could
stop this massacre. Or are you
afraid that society will kick you
out of its conformatxve rat race?

Redwings win
praise as team,
as gentlemen
Dear Editor,
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the St.
Johns Redwing basketball team
on their West Central Conference championship and a great
year of basketball.
Sometimes a player's fine accomplishments on the basketball
court will be overshadowed by
misconduct off the court, but
these young men have always
been gentlemen both off and on
the court. They are a credit
to their school, their community and their families.
We are very proud to know
and to have watched them all
season. Thank you, Redwings,
for a great season.

Dear Editor,
This is just a greeting from
the sunny south which this winter
has hardly lived up to its rep utation. We have had so much
rainy, windy and cool weather.
Still no ice or snow and only
frost here.
However, it has been a most
interesting, busy and enjoyable
winter even without much beach
weather.
* Many friends and relatives
near us have contributed to our
enjoyment. Among them two sisters and their husbands, the
Abbot Nelsons of Bath and the
Francis Randalls of Lansing*
Some of our interesting activities
have been picking oranges, beach
walking (no swimming), helping
with clinics and transportation
at a migrant day care center,
taking S p a n i s h lessons and
square dancing. Also activities [ V j X T ' : ' *™

We would tike to greet our
two sons and their families, Neil
Harte of St. Johns and David

and Charles Wadell of Elsie.
We enjoy so much getting the
paper once a week; it is like
a visit with our friends and
neighbors in Clinton County. We
especially like your editorial
on "John QB in the last paper.
Thank you for speaking for so
many of us.

Do the J rick
Qukk
beautiful brides deserve beautiful
From the
state house
Wedding
By DICK ALLEN
88th District Representative
The House has voted to eliminate the one dollar fee insured
motorists have had to pay to the
.Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
Fund. I think this will be an
extremely popular move.
The fund as of Jan. 15 had
accumulated about $28 million,
much more than enough to handle
claims in process and those
anticipated in the near future.
Many responsible fully-insured
drivers have resented paying
a fee, even though small, to
protect themselves against irresponsible drivers.
So, convinced that public sentiment favored the fee elimination, did I vote for the bill?
Well, no. Not only that, by writing this article about my no
vote I am breaking another political rul.e. When you vote
against public sentiment It is
supposed to be smartest to keep
quiet about it. Most people don't
look up the record.
But I think a little discussion will illustrate the difficulty of determining a person's
viewpoint by reading how he
voted.
It is unfair to charge insured
motorists for this fund because
the protection you receive is
practically nil. The a m o u n t s
you could draw from the fund,
if injured bj an uninsured driver,
are ridiculouslj low.
THE LIMIT ONE person could
draw, even if injured so severely
he could never return to work,
is $10,000. In many cases this
would not even begin to pay the
hospital and medical bills. The
limit on the the entire number
injured in one a c c i d e n t is
320,000. So if there are more
than two it would be less than
S10,000 apiece.
With limits so low most of us
carry private insurance to protect ourselves a g a i n s t iriesponslble drivers. Is this cheaper because some of the liability
would be covered by the state
fund? No, because the law requires that your insurance pay to
the complete limits of Its coverage before anything can be drawn
fi om the state fund.
No wonder the fund is building
up. The amounts it will pay are
very limited and the conditions
under which it will pay are
practically non-existent!
I feel there isonegreatdanger
m the fund as it now exists. Some
people, knowing we have such a
fund and putting their faith in the
State of Michigan, may neglect
to buy private coverage. Then if
severely Injured, they will discover these limits and in some
cases be forced to live out their
lives on inadequate and insulting
public welfare.
I think there are only two
proper solutions to theproblem—
elimination of the piogram or
extension of the coverage. Elimination of the one dollar fee
probaby spells the long term
deatli of the Uninsured Motorist
Fund, In the meantime, given the
choice of putting your faith in the
State of Michigan or a private
insurance company—stick with
the insurance company.
